Answer: 0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

OQ is the side opposite angle P, QP is the side opposite angle O, and PO is the side opposite angle Q.

This means that tangent = opposite/adjacent, the tangent of angle O is the opposite side, QP, over the length of the adjacent side, OQ. (It cannot be PO since that's the hypotenuse)

This means that the tangent of O is 7/24, which is about 0.29

find the quadratic equation if its solutions are 1.5 and -.25, and the equation coefficients are not decimals.

denpristay [2]

If a quadratic equation has solutions $x_1$ and $x_2$ , then we can write it as

$(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$

So, in your case, we have (let me write 1.5 as 3/2 and -0.25 as -1/4)

$\left(x-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\left(x+\dfrac{1}{4}\right) = x^2-\dfrac{5}{4}x-\dfrac{3}{8}$

If we don't want decimal coefficient, we can multiply the whole expression by 8:

$8x^2-10x-3$

the equation of the straight line that passes through the point with coordinates of 0,0 and 2,8. do the same for the coordinates

spin [16.1K]

Answer: Equation of a line passes through (0,0) and (2,8): $y=4x$

Equation of a line passes through (0,0) and (4,2): $y=\dfrac{1}{2}x$

Equation of a line passes through (0,0) and (2,10): $y=5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and (c,d) : $(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)$

Then, Equation of a line passes through (0,0) and (2,8):

$(y-0)=\dfrac{8-0}{2-0}(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=4x$

Equation of a line passes through (0,0) and (4,2):

$(y-0)=\dfrac{2-0}{4-0}(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x$

Equation of a line passes through (0,0) and (2,10):

$(y-0)=\dfrac{10-0}{2-0}(x-0)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=5x$
